An examination of the 2018 high school English curriculum based on philosophical, psychological, and social considerations

Abstract

In our globalizing and developing world, learning English is regarded as compulsory because English has now become an international language. Therefore, the Turkish Ministry of National Education has always taken a particular interest in developments throughout the world in the teaching of foreign languages and the new curriculum was started to be used in 2018. Program evaluation activities are important to assess the degree of accomplishment in an educational program, identify the efficacy of the present program, and compile some helpful data for future programs. Therefore, this study aims to examine the 2018 High School English Curriculum from philosophical, social, and psychological perspectives because the way through understanding of a program and the rationale behind the program development process includes philosophical, social, and psychological considerations. This is a qualitative study with document analysis. According to the findings, considering the philosophical foundations, the program has been designed keeping in mind the student's development, interests, and needs. Based on the social foundations, it can be claimed that the curriculum has been shaped by taking into consideration the issues of recognizing and promoting national, local, and universal culture, the problems of the society regarding language learning, the needs of the society, and the opportunities to be provided with language learning. Regarding the psychological foundations, it can be stated that the developmental characteristics of the students, their prior knowledge, readiness levels, and learning differences are considered while preparing the program.
